This lip-smacking 12yo AnCnoc (formerly Knockdhu) is a top-quality proponent of the non-sherried Speyside style, showing polished malt and a delicious spiciness throughout a warm, complex palate and lasting finish.

Rich and weighty with heady and smoky aromatics. At full strength, the initial aroma is a beguiling mix of warm Christmas cake, walnut oil and parma violets fused with fresh ocean spice, cedar and pine needles falling from the Christmas tree. A smouldering coal fire and the scent of well-oiled leather brings warmth. The sweetness of treacle toffees and chocolate-coated raisins emerge through the smoke. With water, the deep smokiness increases in intensity, reminiscent of a fired Christmas pudding. Rich flowering currants and warm baked banana and walnut bread are served with simmering mocha espresso.

Full flavoured and rich with a deep mouth-coating texture, the taste is an intriguing balance between sweet, spicy and deep smoky flavours. The flavour is initially sweet.

On the nose the Wee Beastie is recognisably an Ardbeg creation, meaty with fresh notes of sea and smoke, a second sniff giving black pepper and coffee. The palate is rich with plenty of bacon, chocolate and aniseed notes, followed by an incredibly long finish where the peat smoke shines through. This is a delicious addition to the Ardbeg range, but don’t just take it from us. Even brand new, it is picking up prestigious accolades, winning Best Single Malt Scotch under 10 years old at the International Whisky Competition.

Auchentoshan 21 Years is a triple distilled and aged perfectly for over twenty one years in American bourbon and Spanish sherry casks. This creates a refined Lowland Single Malt Whisky, ripe with gooseberries, sweet creamy vanilla, a hint of oak, warm honey, and the signature smooth, delicate, Auchentoshan taste.

Auchentoshan is the only Triple Distilled Single Malt In Scotland. The new spirit is the highest distillate of any single malt distillery in Scotland with all the impurities in the liquid distilled away and as such, makes Auchentoshan the smoothest, most delicate tasting single malt scotch whisky.

This unique Auchentoshan Lowland Single Malt Whisky has been matured in three different cask types.

Moving from American Bourbon to Spanish Oloroso Sherry – and finally Pedro Ximenez Sherry casks – Three Wood is a rich, complex whisky with incredible toffee and sherry oak flavours.
